England captain Jos Buttler says he is “100% fit” to return after almost two months out with a calf injury.

Buttler will lead England in the first of three Twenty20 internationals against Australia on Sunday as they finalise their World Cup preparations.

The 32-year-old has not played since The Hundred, and sat out all of England’s 4-3 series win in Pakistan.

“The fitness is good,” Buttler told BBC Sport. “I’m feeling great and excited to play cricket again.”

England meet the T20 World Cup hosts and defending champions in Perth on Sunday (09:10 BST) before two matches in Canberra on Wednesday and Friday.

They then have one more warm-up match with Pakistan – unlikely to be a full international – in Brisbane…
